THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
NOTED BALLOONS1RESS,
MRS. JULIAN P. THOMAS,
TALKS OF MANY THINGS
She Just Loves Aeronautics, Reporters, Auto-
ing and Pretty Clothes, Does This -
Noted Ex-Atlantan.
DAVIS' BIRTHDAY .
BEING OBSERVED
A eronautics, reporters, auto
mobiles anil remarkably pretty
clothes are among the avowed
objects of the love of Mrs. Julian P.
Thomas; wife of Dr. Julian P. Thomas,
the former Atlantan, and noted mem
ber of the Aero Club of New York, who
Is In Atlanta, and who granted a gra
clous Interview Monday morning. Just
before she left the hoter for a shopping
trip on Whitehall street.
Mrs. Thomas, an Ohio woman, lived
In Atlanta two years, while her hus
band, the champion amateur aeronaut,
conducted a sanitarium on Forsyth
street. She said Monday morning that
she still considered Atlanta her old
home, and that It was not so slow
down here. She arrived here Saturday
morning from New York and has a
suite of rooms on the fifth floor of the
Piedmont hotel. Traveling with her
are her two children and a maid.
As a reporter called Monday morning
to see Mrs. Thomas, a handsome wo
man was Inquiring of the clerk where
she could buy some stamps, while In
her hand she held several unmalled let
ters, one of which was addressed to
Dr. Julian Thomas. The reporter In
troduced himself and was cordially re
ceived by Mrs. Thomas, who said she
would be exceedingly glad to tall him
anything he wanted, for she understood
reporters so thoroughly.
Loungers Were Interested.
The wife of the high-flying doctor
attracted much attention from the
rather large crowd of loungers In the
lobby of the hotel, as she walked to
the cigar stand to purdiase stamps. A
woman of striking figure, a wealth of
black hair In decided contrast to her
pink and white complexion, and attired
In an accordion-pleated pique walking
ault, the Jacket of which, trimmed In
black art medallions, partly concealed
a waist of old lace, Mrs. Thomas, the
cynosure of all eyes In the lobby, seat
ed herself In one of the large wicker
chairs and proceeded to tell all about
the pastime of aeronautlng, purely for
sport, and so enthusiastic was she that
her face fairly beamed as she recounted
some difficult landing that she and the
doctor had made In some far distant
forest In Massachusetts, Maine, or
Hoboken. And "the count," she told all
sbout him, for he Is so enthusiastic
and first Interested the doctor In aero
nautics, about which the doctor Is, oh,
wildly excited, though It Is not allowed
to Interfere with his practice, which
has grown so largely since he estab
lished himself In New York—not to
talk shop, however.
"You see. It all started from the au
tomobile,” said Mi-s. Thomas, as she
seated herself In the wicker.
“The doctor Is an autolst also. Is he?”
asked the reporter.
And the Count, Too.
"Oh, yes, Indeed: why we have owned
a very large car for four years. You.
should let me tell you now, tpr it start
ed at the auto show, given by the
Automobile Club, to which, of course,
all the very'best people In New York
belong. The doctor was the chairman
of the committee that had In charge
the exhibit In which were shown some
very handsome balloons that had been
brought over to New York from Paris.
The count, I mean Count LeVeaux, ho
and the doctor are so vary thick, you
know, wan the first to sow an aero
nautical seed In Dr. Thomas' ear. The
Aero Club bought several of the bal
loons, the handsome ones, though Dr.
Thomas bought one for himself, so en
thusiastic had he become on the sub
ject.
"Of course It Is only a fad with the
doctor, and all of the people up In the
East, who have taken It up onyl for
sport, though. The man who takes the
flights with the doctor In his balloon—
which, by the way, was made by Mal
let—M-a-l-l-e-t—French, you know-—
by the name of LeVee, Is a professional
Pilot, and Is teaching the doctor all he
knows of ballooning.
"So you, too, are enthusiastic about
ballooning?" asked the reporter.
‘Oh. yea; I should say so, and I feel
awfully good this morning, as a tele
gram from the doctor yesterday said
he was going to make a flight In Pitts
burg soon, but will wait until I come
home. No. I don't know whether I will
go up with him, but I may. You see,
some aeronaut made a flight In Phila
delphia recently and we wish to beat
hl " record. It la Just like golf or tennis
with us, and as a sport It la very
exciting, and really Is becoming very
popular and Is being taken up: of
course, by only the very best people.
Mrs. Howard Gould made a flight not
long ago, and In Parts It Is no unusual
•hkng at all for a flight to be made.”
The reporter's Ignorance of balloons
seemed to interest Mrs. Thomas ex
ceed ngly, and she left nothing unsaid
In elucidating thoroughly everything
connected with the taking of flights.
No parachutes are used, she said, for
there was no danger except In coming
down, which has to be taken rather
slowly, a too sudden descent being
risky, the more sudden the more risky.
t an you give me a picture?” asked
the reporter.
“Oh, 1 Love Reporters!”
'why, haven't you a picture? I am
so sorry I have none, with me. for I
know exactly how It Is with you report
ers. oh, I love reporters, for I know
them so well. In New York I know a
large number and see so much of them.
Dr. Thomas- always gtves them all the
Information he can. The reporters there
awfully fond of him. They come
right In the house and take the pictures
off the wall, and always with a smiling.
Oh, I'll bring It back, Mrs. Thomas,' so
pleasantly, you know, that It Is hard to
refuse, and now and then one Is
brought back. I know your city editor
will ask you if you secured the picture,
and If you don’t have one he will look
at you as If to say, ‘Sorry you fell down
on the stoiy,' but I really have none
with me. Now, my slater may have
one: I really think she has, though she
told me not long ago that she hated to
show It to any one. It was so unlike me.
Maybe she will give It to you. If you
will promise to return It. What's your
name?—well, this Is my slater and you
may aak her for the picture.”
The picture was at home In the bot
tom of a trunk. In which were packed
odds and ends, and as It would take a
good while and the picture was not
very good. It was announced that a
search would be. Instituted for. It to
night. and the reporter could have It
Tuesday.
“The call for pictures In New York
was so heavy that the papers just had
us go to Mnrceau and have a lo taken,
which we did. I am so sorry I haven't
one with me, for I know what It menus
to you. Now, Is there anything else
you want to know? I am always glad
to give the reporters anything I can. for
I like them; they are always so very
kind. Oh, I know them like a book.”
The Occasion of the Visit.
'What am I doing In Atlanta? Well,
I am to be matron of honor at a wed
ding here of Miss Kathleen Thomas,
the doctor's sister, t„ Mr. McMillan,
and I suppose I will be here the rest of
the week. Why, I have been here al
ready two days and you are the first
reporter I have seen. I had begun to
think I would escape this, though It
seems not. Why, In Cincinnati, I had
hardly been In the city a halt hour be
fore three or four reporters were camp
ing on my trail. One of them, whom I
asked how he knew I was coming,
showed me a telegram from one of our
members In New York, telling him I
might be able to give them some assist
ance In running a car, which they had
there. I mean balloon; we call them
all cars. But I could do nothing with
It. Very poor material In It, Indeed, not
like ours In New York.
"I am going directly back to New
York from here, for we have a lot of
things In aeronautics on foot, and I
don't want to miss any of them. So
sorry about the picture, for I know
what It means to you.”

AND THROWER.
The outcome of the trial of City De
tectlve Lockhart against whom charges
have been filed with the police com
mission by Joe Eplan, a pawnbroker,
will be awaited by Judge Calhoun be
fore he passes sentence on Lorenso
Jones and M. Thrower, two white men
who were convicted the past term of
the criminal branch of the city court of
running a gambling house.
The day after the conclusion of the
trial of Jones and Thrower, It was
learned that the detectives who had
figured In the gambling case, Lockhart
nnd T. B. Lanford, claimed that Eplan
had admitted to them that he had sworn
i lie In testifying against the
gamblers. Following this, Eplan pre
ferred charges against Lockhart, al
leging that the latter had confiscated
goods at his pawnshop on Decatur
street and had failed to take them to
police headquarters. This charge
MickKart stoutly denies.
Lockhart said Monday morning that
as soon as Judge Calhoun sentenced
Jones and Thrower, he was going to
prosecute Eplan for perjury.

GEORGIA WINS CASE
AGAINST OUCKTOWN
U. S. SUPREME COURT HAND
ED DOWN DECISION.
Highest Court Is Ready to Decide
Whether North Georgia Coun
ties Are Damaged.
Georgia won another victory In the
United States supreme court when that
tribunal announced Jurisdiction In the
Ducktown case. Attorney General Hart
received a letter Monday morning from
the chief clerk of the court, elating that
the contention of Judge Hart for Juris
diction In this case had been upheld,
and that both sides would be given
from now until the court sits In Octo
ber to file additional evidence.
Thia means that the higher court la
irepared to go Into the merits of the
ssue In which the stale of Georgia
seeks to restrain the Tennessee Iron
and Copper Company, with plants at
Isabella and Ducktown, Tenn- from
working damage to vegetation and for
estry In a tier of North Oeorgla coun
ties.
In the meanwhile the copper smelt
ing plant will have had an opportunity
of testing thoroughly the value of Iho
826-foot stack In ameliorating the con
ditions complained of. It Is contended
that this stack will carry th* fumes so
far up In the air that currents will
take them away from ths territory af
fected.
On the other hand It I* contended
that the stack only widens the sons of
damage.
